User : I am 30 years old. I had Tuberculosis 12 years ago. I got the treatment for 9 months regulary and the TB was healed as the doctor said. I am completely fine at the moment. Now I have got job. Before joining I need to go through medical exams which includes Chest x-ray too. A scar of healed TB appears on my x-ray. Will this scar be problem and cause my failure in the medical exam?
Doctor : hi
Doctor : how can i help u?
